The University wrestling team will hold a dual meet with Yale at New Haven on Monday evening, February 19. This occasion will inaugurate wrestling as a regular winter sport at Harvard. Although the Athletic Committee will only sanction one dual meet this year, it is hoped hereafter to compete with other colleges and to enter men from the University in the individual championships of the Intercollegiate Wrestling Association.
In the dual meet with Yale, competition will be held in the regular seven classes as follows: 115 pounds, 125 pounds, 135 pounds, 145 pounds, 158 pounds, 175 pounds, and heavy-weight. The team winning the majority of the matches will win the meet.
Since early in December, when the wrestling season opened, Coach Anderson has been in Hemenway Gymnasium each afternoon, except on Saturdays and during the recess, from 3 to 6 o'clock. Between these hours, some 65 men have been wrestling daily. Trials will be held next Wednesday evening for these men and other members of the University, who have wrestled before but have not joined the Wrestling Association, and a team will be picked to go to New Haven. An entry book for the trials will be placed in the Wrestling Room of the Gymnasium this afternoon.
Following the dual meet a number of informal meets will be arranged with various wrestling organizations around Boston and men will be entered in the New England wrestling championships, which are held annually in March.
